    Liver-bone relationships: integrative pathophysiology, diagnostic, prognostic, preventive and therapeutic considerations
    Fisher, Leon ( 2019)
    Over the last 10 years we examined complex multidirectional interactions between the digestive system and osteoporotic fractures focusing on pathophysiological and clinical issues of liver-bone relationships. These included: vitamin D, vitamin K and parathyroid hormone in chronic liver and pancreatic diseases (2 papers: [1, 2]); associations between liver function, bone-mineral biomarkers, indices of iron metabolism and adipokines (leptin, adiponectin, resistin) in orthogeriatric patients (3 papers: [3-5]); diagnostic and prognostic indicators of osteoporosis, fractures, and in- hospital outcomes (5 papers: [6-10]). A shortened overview of our main findings is presented.
